We treat many auto injury cases in our Boardman office, and a common symptom we see in our patients is headache. Why is headache such a common symptom after an auto collision? How can chiropractic care help you heal? Chiropractic care in Boardman can be very helpful for headache symptoms after a crash.
There are many different types of headache. Headache that's triggered by an auto collision, though, usually starts as tension or strain in the muscles of the cervical spine. In a collision, the neck muscles can be damaged, which results in inflammation and pain. These types of headache can be felt in different places, including the back of the head or even the temple.
Another common cause of headache after a crash that we see in our Boardman office is cervicogenic headache, or headaches that originate in injured ligaments of the neck. Ligament injury is very common after a crash, and it's important to get care for this type of problem to avoid the development of scar tissue.
Chiropractic Treatment is an effective way to treat headaches, including those triggered by car crashes. Your chiropractor will help reduce the irritation and stress in your neck, which will help alleviate the headache pain.
